The investigation of landslides applying various methods has been receiving increased attention in recent years. This study was aimed at assessing the estimated distribution of landslide movement using an energy conservation formula in a lumped mass model to obtain velocity and travel distance estimations, in combination with an inverted resistivity model for estimating the Amahusu landslide volume. The research location was in the Amahusu hills of the Nusaniwe subdistrict, Ambon, Indonesia. A survey was carried out using GPS and a geoelectric resistivity method with the Wenner-Schlumberger configuration. The results of the study provide a characterization of this rotational type landslide. The estimated landslide volume was 70,954 m3 and the estimated potential landslide volumewas 50,603 m3. This mass moved 303 m away from the original location, with an estimated maximum velocity of up to 21.25 m/s. The displacement pattern of a landslide mass is primarily controlled by the geometry of the sliding plane. The geometry of the sliding plane causes different types of movement, based on which the possible occurrence of a future landslide can be predicted.

In this paper, we give a generalization of slightly compressible modules. We introduce the notion of M-slightly compressible modules, i.e. a right R module N is called M-slightly compressible if for every nonzero submodule A of N there exists a nonzero R-homomorphism s from M to N such that . Many examples of M-slightly compressible modules are provided. Some results on M-slightly compressible modules are obtained, which are interesting and important.

This study was aimed at identifying effective leadership abilities as appreciated by soldiers in the Lithuanian armed forces. Leader behavior was measured using an adapted version of the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ), which was originally developed by Andrew W. Halpin from Ohio State University. Data were collected from soldiers holding different ranks and doing professional military service in all units of the Lithuanian armed forces and were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 20 software application. For our data analysis, the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) decision tree growing method was used with three class dependent variables. The CHAID algorithm helped in specifying the best splits for each of twelve potential predictors and then select the predictors whose splits presented the most serious differences in the sub-populations of the sample. In the Chi-squared significance test, the lowest p-value was achieved. The model structures obtained after analysis are presented.

In this paper, we define the disjunctive sum, difference and Cartesian product of two interval valued neutrosophic sets and study their basic properties. The notions of the (α,β,γ) interval cut set of interval valued neutrosophic sets and the (α,β,γ) strong interval cut set of interval valued neutrosophic sets are put forward. Some related properties have been established with proof, examples and counter examples.

In this study, the electrical properties of chitosan membrane in different types of electrolytes were investigated by analyzing the current-voltage (I"‘V) curve. The membrane used was chitosan membrane 2%. The different electrolyte solutions used were KCl, HCl, MgCl2, CaCl2 and AlCl3 at concentrations of 0.025 M. The I-V experiments were done using a two-compartment cell, which contained two working electrodes made of platinum connected to a DC current source and two Ag/AgCl reference electrodes connected to a voltmeter. All experiments were conducted at an ambient temperature of 28.7 °C. Water uptake (hydrophilicity) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements were also studied in this research. The I-V curves show the ohmic behavior of the membrane. The resistance of the membrane was higher in the electrolyte solutions with larger Stokes radii and lower in the electrolyte solutions with larger diffusion coefficients, except in the HCl solution. These results indicate that the I-V curve shapes are affected by the type of electrolyte solution used for the chitosan membrane transport. The hydrophilicity of the membrane was improved after exposure to the electrolyte solutions. The FTIR analysis revealed a new peak at about 677 cm-1, which indicates the formation of C-Cl groups in the used membranes.

A new method to treat the inherent instability of Lanczos-type algorithms is introduced. It enables us to capture the properties of the sequence of iterates generated by a Lanczos-type algorithm by interpolating on this sequence of points. The interpolation model found is then used to generate a point that is outside the range. It is expected that this new point will link up the rest of the sequence of points generated by the Lanczos-type algorithm if breakdown does not occur. However, because we assume that the interpolation model captures the properties of the Lanczos sequence, the new point belongs to that sequence since it is generated by the model. This paper introduces the so-called Embedded Interpolation and Extrapolation Model in Lanczos-type Algorithms (EIEMLA). The model was implemented in algorithms A13/B6 and A13/B13, which are new variants of the Lanczos algorithm. Individually, these algorithms perform badly on high dimensional systems of linear equations (SLEs). However, with the embedded interpolation and extrapolation models, EIEM A13/B6 and EIEM A13/B13, a substantial improvement in the performance on SLEs with up to 105 variables can be achieved.

Six flavonoid compounds, kaempferol (1), quercetin (2), acacetin (3), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), and isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), were isolated from the methanol extract of the Lygodium microphyllum herb. The chemical structures of compounds 1-6 were identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and comparison with previously reported spectral data. Compounds 1-6 were isolated for first time from this plant. Their antioxidant activity against DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) was evaluated. Among the compounds, quercetin (2) showed high antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 6.94 ± 0.03 μg/mL.

P2Y12 is a platelet receptor that is involved in ADP signal transduction and is an attractive target for antithrombotic drugs. The side effects of antithrombotic drugs are not pleasant for the patient, so research into the development of new antithrombotic agents is still necessary. Evaluation of absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and the toxicity profile of candidate drugs is an important step in drug development. The aim of this study was to predict the potency of ferulic acid (FA) and its derivatives (FA1-24) as antiplatelet drugs by a docking study on the P2Y12 receptor (PDB ID: 4PXZ) and their ADMET performance. The docking study was performed using Molegro Virtual Docker, version 5.5. ADMET prediction of FA was conducted using the pkCSM online tool. The results of the in silico study showed that FA-19 had the lowest MolDock score (MDS), which means that this compound is predicted to have the greatest activity. FA-19 is also predicted to be practically non-toxic. It is expected that FA-19 will have good intestinal absorption and is similarly distributed in the intestine and in the blood plasma. Its penetration in the blood-brain barrier is moderate but does not inhibit the CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 enzymes.
